Typedefs

Functions

sfSoundStream *sfSoundStream_create(sfSoundStreamGetDataCallback onGetData, sfSoundStreamSeekCallback onSeek, unsigned int channelCount, unsigned int sampleRate, void *userData)#

Create a new sound stream.

Parameters:
  • onGetData – Function called when the stream needs more data (can’t be NULL)

  • onSeek – Function called when the stream seeks (can’t be NULL)

  • channelCount – Number of channels to use (1 = mono, 2 = stereo)

  • sampleRate – Sample rate of the sound (44100 = CD quality)

  • userData – Data to pass to the callback functions

Returns:

A new sfSoundStream object

void sfSoundStream_destroy(sfSoundStream *soundStream)#

Destroy a sound stream.

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream to destroy

void sfSoundStream_play(sfSoundStream *soundStream)#

Start or resume playing a sound stream.

This function starts the stream if it was stopped, resumes it if it was paused, and restarts it from beginning if it was it already playing. This function uses its own thread so that it doesn’t block the rest of the program while the music is played.

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

void sfSoundStream_pause(sfSoundStream *soundStream)#

Pause a sound stream.

This function pauses the stream if it was playing, otherwise (stream already paused or stopped) it has no effect.

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

void sfSoundStream_stop(sfSoundStream *soundStream)#

Stop playing a sound stream.

This function stops the stream if it was playing or paused, and does nothing if it was already stopped. It also resets the playing position (unlike sfSoundStream_pause).

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

sfSoundStatus sfSoundStream_getStatus(const sfSoundStream *soundStream)#

Get the current status of a sound stream (stopped, paused, playing)

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

Returns:

Current status

unsigned int sfSoundStream_getChannelCount(const sfSoundStream *soundStream)#

Return the number of channels of a sound stream.

1 channel means a mono sound, 2 means stereo, etc.

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

Returns:

Number of channels

unsigned int sfSoundStream_getSampleRate(const sfSoundStream *soundStream)#

Get the sample rate of a sound stream.

The sample rate is the number of audio samples played per second. The higher, the better the quality.

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

Returns:

Sample rate, in number of samples per second

void sfSoundStream_setPitch(sfSoundStream *soundStream, float pitch)#

Set the pitch of a sound stream.

The pitch represents the perceived fundamental frequency of a sound; thus you can make a stream more acute or grave by changing its pitch. A side effect of changing the pitch is to modify the playing speed of the stream as well. The default value for the pitch is 1.

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

  • pitch – New pitch to apply to the stream

void sfSoundStream_setVolume(sfSoundStream *soundStream, float volume)#

Set the volume of a sound stream.

The volume is a value between 0 (mute) and 100 (full volume). The default value for the volume is 100.

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

  • volume – Volume of the stream

void sfSoundStream_setPosition(sfSoundStream *soundStream, sfVector3f position)#

Set the 3D position of a sound stream in the audio scene.

Only streams with one channel (mono streams) can be spatialized. The default position of a stream is (0, 0, 0).

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

  • position – Position of the stream in the scene

void sfSoundStream_setRelativeToListener(sfSoundStream *soundStream, sfBool relative)#

Make a sound stream’s position relative to the listener or absolute.

Making a stream relative to the listener will ensure that it will always be played the same way regardless the position of the listener. This can be useful for non-spatialized streams, streams that are produced by the listener, or streams attached to it. The default value is false (position is absolute).

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

  • relative – sfTrue to set the position relative, sfFalse to set it absolute

void sfSoundStream_setMinDistance(sfSoundStream *soundStream, float distance)#

Set the minimum distance of a sound stream.

The “minimum distance” of a stream is the maximum distance at which it is heard at its maximum volume. Further than the minimum distance, it will start to fade out according to its attenuation factor. A value of 0 (“inside the head

of the listener”) is an invalid value and is forbidden. The default value of the minimum distance is 1.

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

  • distance – New minimum distance of the stream

void sfSoundStream_setAttenuation(sfSoundStream *soundStream, float attenuation)#

Set the attenuation factor of a sound stream.

The attenuation is a multiplicative factor which makes the stream more or less loud according to its distance from the listener. An attenuation of 0 will produce a non-attenuated stream, i.e. its volume will always be the same whether it is heard from near or from far. On the other hand, an attenuation value such as 100 will make the stream fade out very quickly as it gets further from the listener. The default value of the attenuation is 1.

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

  • attenuation – New attenuation factor of the stream

void sfSoundStream_setPlayingOffset(sfSoundStream *soundStream, sfTime timeOffset)#

Change the current playing position of a sound stream.

The playing position can be changed when the stream is either paused or playing.

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

  • timeOffset – New playing position

void sfSoundStream_setLoop(sfSoundStream *soundStream, sfBool loop)#

Set whether or not a sound stream should loop after reaching the end.

If set, the stream will restart from beginning after reaching the end and so on, until it is stopped or sfSoundStream_setLoop(stream, sfFalse) is called. The default looping state for sound streams is false.

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

  • loop – sfTrue to play in loop, sfFalse to play once

float sfSoundStream_getPitch(const sfSoundStream *soundStream)#

Get the pitch of a sound stream.

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

Returns:

Pitch of the stream

float sfSoundStream_getVolume(const sfSoundStream *soundStream)#

Get the volume of a sound stream.

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

Returns:

Volume of the stream, in the range [0, 100]

sfVector3f sfSoundStream_getPosition(const sfSoundStream *soundStream)#

Get the 3D position of a sound stream in the audio scene.

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

Returns:

Position of the stream in the world

sfBool sfSoundStream_isRelativeToListener(const sfSoundStream *soundStream)#

Tell whether a sound stream’s position is relative to the listener or is absolute.

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

Returns:

sfTrue if the position is relative, sfFalse if it’s absolute

float sfSoundStream_getMinDistance(const sfSoundStream *soundStream)#

Get the minimum distance of a sound stream.

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

Returns:

Minimum distance of the stream

float sfSoundStream_getAttenuation(const sfSoundStream *soundStream)#

Get the attenuation factor of a sound stream.

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

Returns:

Attenuation factor of the stream

sfBool sfSoundStream_getLoop(const sfSoundStream *soundStream)#

Tell whether or not a sound stream is in loop mode.

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

Returns:

sfTrue if the music is looping, sfFalse otherwise

sfTime sfSoundStream_getPlayingOffset(const sfSoundStream *soundStream)#

Get the current playing position of a sound stream.

Parameters:
  • soundStream – Sound stream object

Returns:

Current playing position

struct sfSoundStreamChunk#
#include <SoundStream.h>

defines the data to fill by the OnGetData callback
